What's up with that?And what an unpronouncable word is Le noeud (which can have some naughty slang meanings, but we won't go into that).

Is it NEW-ya or NEW-A or what?

YOU tell me SVP.

Bears everywhere, not just French Bears, are perfectly happy wearing bows, usually rouge...

French Girl rarely leaves the house without sporting some kind of bow worn hither or thither.

Should I too start eating GOBS of beurre/butter for petit dej',so I can wear a bow regularly? One does wonder.

A napkin tied as a bow?

Perfection to advertise a French café.

Did Miss Kitty influence French fashion?

Non,non, non...this has been going on way too long before she arrived on the scene, though she may have given the French bow a little nudgeHere's a shining example of the hair bow worn on a giant pin from savvy French jewelry company, N2. They have a stand in Galeries Lafayette as well as a new concept store on 3, rue Bourg L'Abbe, 75003. I bought an all-macaron bracelet that is 2-die-4, even though it has no French bows...

I love them, too. BTW, while Mlle. H. Kitty was around a long time before (I don't know how long & I refuse to look it up or that will be another hour gone, somehow)...when I moved to Strasbourg in 1974 & saw her in a shop window, it was the first time I was aware of her...& I was no slouch in the pop culture area. So. Maybe she helped a bit with the young people?

Hi I'm Carol Gillott,
